Diary: Rehab Lately

A friend in the bar, stirring his straight-up drink with a little red straw, confides in me that he's just spent a month in rehab. I nod a lot and do that pat thing on his back. The one where you keep your hand on the other person just long enough to say 'I care' but hopefully not long enough to say 'hey, I'm touching you up'. Anyway we change subjects.

"Have you seen that Borat movie?" he asks me.

"That came out ages ago, where have you been?" I reply.

"Erm, in rehab. I just told you."

Oh. I try to change the subject, "So, have you been up to anything nice recently?"
